Weekend Update- Privacy!!!

Parenting is a rough job. Anyone who has ever had toddlers knows that when they say they have to go, they really have to go, and nothing will get in the way. We try to teach them patience and to not fight, but sometimes it happens anyway. Like when three toddlers have to pee in two bathrooms.

We had our neighbors over and Ally, 3, had to pee, so Caleb, 3, had to pee also. When they ran inside, Alex, 5, of course had to go.

"Do you really have to pee," I asked.

"YES!" was the reply.

Well, who am I to judge.

We went inside to pee. By the time we got to the bathroom, Caleb and Ally both had their pants around their ankles and were pushing each other off the potty both trying to use it while the other was away from it. In the process of arguing over urination rights, Ally had put the potty seat on sideways so that when she sat down, the back of the seat fell into the toilet along with Ally's backside.

Caleb and Alex got sent to bathroom number two for their respective number-ones (numbers-one?). In a few seconds,

"When do I get to pee?" Alex

"Caleb, go pee." Me

"I already did..." Caleb

"Then pull up your pants, Alex, go pee now."

A few more seconds go by and the boys walk out of the bathroom, and Alex, in all of his five-year-old exuberance exclaims, "Finally some PRIVACY!!!"

Wait until he has kids, I've not had privacy in the bathroom in years.
